What is this though? Or am I misreading it?

The article is dated 27 August 1944.
The article from the JTA states:
Thousands of Jews are still being held in the Oswiecim camp where 65,000 internees have been exterminated in special โdeath chambersโ since the establishment of the camp two and a half years ago.
USHMM (and other sources) state:
From May 15 to July 9, 1944, Hungarian gendarmerie officials, under the guidance of German SS officials, deported around 440,000 Jews from Hungary. Most were deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau, where, upon arrival and after selection, SS functionaries killed the majority of them in gas chambers. link
Clearly both stories cannot be correct.
